Hi Prakash, Sorry for the delay getting back to you. When you send an MMS notification with the Now SMS/MMS Gateway, the gateway first tries to fetch the URL to verify that the URL is accessible, and that is in a valid format for MMS retrieval. After all, when the notification is delivered to the phone, that phone is going to need to fetch the URL to retrieve the content ... and error reporting on the phones is not so good. So if we can catch the errors up front at the gateway, then it's easier to catch configuration errors. This error indicates that when the URL that contains the MMS message content was fetched, the web server that hosts the URL returned a MIME content type of "application/octet-stream". In order to be recognized as an MMS message, then content server needs to return the content with a MIME type of "application/vnd.wap.mms-message". Please check the configuration of your web server, and make sure that you have this MIME type associated with the file extension that you are using for your compiled MMS message files. -bn | |||
